Hi, Haven't used thunderbird or gnome3. Don't know much about emails either. But I recently started using mutt and hence noticed that the difference between the 2 messages in your screen-shot is that The OP's mail(the one that looks weird) contains 2 parts one plain text part and one html part whereas the reply (which looks normal) has only a plain text part. Maybe thunderbird has an option to use a particular font when rendering emails that contain html? -- - Yohan Pereira The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and a seal. -- Mark Twain
